  • Catholic Schools Week

    Published 28/01/26

    Over the past two days, we have been celebrating being “Called to Holiness through Service and Courage” and “Called to Holiness through Joy and Mission.” πŸ™πŸΌ πŸ•ŠοΈ 

     

    The children have shown that God is at work when they help others, stand up for what is right, and spread joy in simple, everyday ways. Through their kindness, bravery, and smiles, we have truly seen the Hand of God at Work in our school community. πŸ’šπŸ’›βœ‹

     

    As Catholic Schools Week comes to a close, we are very proud of the children for how they have lived out these values throughout the week.

  • Hurling Tournament

    Published 15/01/26

    Our hurling team took part in the Cumann na Bunscoil Indoor Hurling tournament.πŸ‘ 

     

    They played 6 intense matches and came home with 3 wins, 2 draws and only got beat in one game by a very small margin! 

     

    The boys played with great skill and determination and were very unlucky to not qualify for the County Finals. πŸ”΄βš«οΈ

     

    With three Primary 6s on the team today the future for hurling in our school looks promising! 🌟

     

    Ghlac an fhoireann iomána páirt i gcomórtas Iomána taobh istigh. D'éirigh go hiontach leo agus níos fearr arís tá scileanna den chéad scoth acu. 

    Nach geal an todhchaí don iománaíocht sa scoil. 🌟
